got that walk in gun safe I'm still working on, & am at the point I'm ready to address displaying my Contenders...
when my father in law had the collection, he converted an old oak ice box to display his Contenders... however he out grew it, before he died, & I've continued to grow the barrel collection...
I'd be interested in seeing, or having you describe how you store or display your Contender collection ( I have 22-24 barrels, & 4 actions )... & I know there are guys here that have at least that many...
... so what do you guys do ???
I'm thinking of doing racks ( using 8" wide boards ) similar to my rifle rack design, only with the left peg hole 1" below the right peg hole ( so the barrels will present horizontal & level ) using the steel pegs, with 1/4" holes in the boards & the heat shrink tube, like I'm using on my handgun racks... maybe the wood dowels on the right ( under the barrel ) & the steel shrink wrapped peg on the left to fit in the pin holes... the Contender's barrels offer almost more of a challenge than my regular rifles or handguns, as they vary from 10" to rifle length...
